Well, I wouldn't think it is too realistic to be able to jump in, turn on the battery, the fuel pump, mixture full rich, and press the starters, then your off. Pretty much what Carenado is right there. Except for their fancy lights. No other aircraft has modeled a GNS 430, so it would be raising the bar if they did. Well, $5 less and you get an amazing G1000 in the Corvalis. For the price, I would like to see a bit better simulation. I must say, FSX does come with much better stock instruments, so I guess they are better to fly in FSX.
